Tragic has no problem acknowledging our devotion to the cloth, the pump and even the clutch. But when it comes to the sneaker, we have nothing on these guys. Sneaker Freaker and Female Sneaker Fiend have created forums for legions of sneaker obsessives. Prepare to enter the world of the sneaker society.

For the past four years Sneaker Freaker has been feeding the appetites of shoe tragics with new and rare trainers. Founder Woody is the Imelda Marcos of the sneaker world. His website and bi-yearly magazine includes interviews with sneaker designers, previews and fresh product covering (in his words) “all the super hard to get sh*t”.

Springing from the streets of NYC, Female Sneaker Fiend is devoted to girls and kicks. Started by self-confessed sneaker fiend Lori Lobenstine (she bought her first pair at 6), the movement embodies “every girl who loves their kicks”. Content ranges from amazing customised shoes to interviews with influential street artists such as Toofly and Pinkeye.

Embrace your inner tomboy, this kind of girl power puts the Spice Girls to shame.

Do you indulge in a little shoe obsession? Or perhaps T-shirts or jewellery are your Achilles heel? Let Tragic know about you pet obsession.
